Well in light of the recent thread on no trance on radio i last night made an interesting discovery. I actually was so bored at home i read my austar(pay tv) guide and discovered satellite radio is part of the deal with 25 stations one of which is dedicated to trance. I instantly found it and put it throught the trusty yamaha and was well pleased with the selection playing. As each track played there was a description of title,artist and even mix. The bio for the station states bringing you the latest in uk, french and european trance. They don't have a guide with it so i suppose i will turn it on every now and then and see who is playing. I would think dj mixes would have to be part of it so i will have a video tape handy if anything good comes on regardless of the fact there isn't pictures to go with it.
Austar is actually a mix of optus and fox for us country hicks so anyone else out there who has either, it may be worth a check to see if you have had a trance radio station unkown to you.
I'll get back to you with any track highlights that make there way to my dish.

heh good to hear some trance on the radio, even if it is a pretty obscure station...
On another note, I heard 4 Strings - Into the Night on Nova969 this afternoon .. crappy vocal mix but I was like WTF!?!?

I reckon, I think they started playing it at the start of the year. I did hear PvD - Nothing But You (Some Remix) on 96.1 yesterday. It was a shit remix but still.
At least its not as shit as the Radio mix of Planet Funk - Who Said? Man that mix totally destroyed that track for me! Radio hang your head in shame!

LOL webbie.
first time I heard that vocal mix of into the night I almost threw up... I could hear the tv in the other room, someone had left MTV on (this was in australia, via optusvision cable tv) and I guess they were showing the video clip. My first thoughts were of complete confusion, because I fully thought that into the night was playing on my mate's stereo and that the tv had some pop song playing... that's how bad it was. But the longer I listened, the more I realised that the 'two songs' were in relatively good sync, and concluded that appropriate action was to knock myself out with a baseball bat.(jacking off in the process)
